[1] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took lamps, and went forth the bridegroom. [2] And five of them wise, and five were foolish. [3] that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil in vessels with lamps. [5] While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. [6] And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom go ye out to meet him. [7] Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed lamps. [8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give of oil; for lamps are gone out. [9] But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest not enough and but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [10] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
